Singer Pink’s Drummer Arrested in Hawaii
Drummer William Johnson was arrested Sunday when a routine passport check revealed a warrant for his arrest for grand larceny in New York, said Deputy Attorney General Neil Murakami. Johnson was released after posting $50,000 cash bail, officials said.
Johnson was in court for an extradition hearing on Tuesday and is scheduled to appear at another hearing on Thursday before heading back to New York.
Jack Utsick, the promoter of Pink’s Wednesday concert at Neil Blaisdell Arena, said he didn’t believe the legal problems would have no bearing on the concert.
“He’ll be there. He’ll be performing. And the show’s going on as scheduled,” Utsick said.
